  Because PEAP uses certificates, too.  The requirement for a CA cert
comes from the requirements on certificate chains.  It is not a PEAP
requirement.  PEAP just inherits that requirement because PEAP uses
certificates.

  The CA cert is needed by OpenSSL to validate the server cert.

  Provide a CA cert as instructed, either in CA_file or in certificate_file.
